Tall and Skinny Bouquet

Hmmm, tall and skinny -- I think that's what I wish I was! In any case, this is my first ever Tall and Skinny card. I've avoided making them because I never can find tall and skinny envelopes for them and don't want to try to make one. However, I found some suitable envelopes in a box of old greeting cards and they are still good enough to use.

I dug out a stamp set by Stampendous and used different pieces of it to stamp this Bouquet in a Jar which I thought would be great for celebrating Mother's Day. This time, I colored it with watercolors and used chalk markers (after it dried well) to give some shading for more depth.

Since the watercolor paper I used for the image had some texture to it, I embossed the colored CS layers with my Linen folder. Very hard to see it in the photo but it adds almost the same texture throughout all the layers.

This is a tri-fold card and I added polka dot dp to the right side fold. The CS I used for the card base is white which makes it white inside where one can write a message.

Hi Connie! This is such a beautiful card you've created here! I love canning jars and flowers together and they are so popular these days too....hmmmm perhaps I should have an upcoming challenge using them? I'm always looking for ideas! Thanks so much for joining my challenge this week, and please come back again and join me :)
